Elizabeth Ingels Magruder, 88, peacefully and gracefully passed away on Tuesday, May 27 at Dalistan Care Home in Ukiah with the loving support of her family and caregivers. Betty was born on July 22, 1919 in San Francisco and grew up on her family ranch in Potter Valley. Her father, Ray Ingels, was a State Senator, and her mother, Helen Ingels, was a proper Victorian woman, so Betty was raised to stand straight, put work before play, and always behave with elegance and charm. After graduating from Stanford University with a degree in Economics, Betty served as a Lieutenant in the Navy during World War II. She was lucky enough to be one of the first Waves stationed in Oakland where she met and married a southern gentleman named Robert Magruder. Betty brought her new husband back to her ranch in Potter Valley where they spent many years raising cattle, pears, and their two children, Robert Junior (Mac) and Helen. After her husband's death in 1980, Betty helped her daughter Helen operate a summer camp on the ranch for a number of years and also did the bookkeeping for her son Mac's cattle operation. Betty was active in her community. She was a member of the Saturday Afternoon Club, PEO, and helped on many political and fundraising campaigns including Ronald Reagan's run for Governor of California. Betty will be remembered for her graciousness and supportive nature. She saw the best in everyone she knew, always maintained a positive attitude, never gossiped, and lived with integrity and independence. She was preceded in death by her husband Robert Magruder, and her sister Helen Green. She is survived by her son Mac Magruder, his wife Kate, her grandchildren Grace and Martha Magruder, her daughter Helen Magruder Menasian and Helen's husband David. A celebration of Betty's life will be held on Sunday, June 15, 11:00 AM, at the Magruder Ranch in Potter Valley (9000 West Road). Memorial donations can be made to the Potter Valley Cemetery/ Betty Magruder Memorial Fund, PO Box 34, Potter Valley, Ca. 95469. Arrangements and care under the direction of the Eversole Mortuary.
